Hmm, I looked at the Intel site, but only found server-grade mobos that only support P3 Tualatin, at most. The "best" model they have is the SCB2, which I think is too much for our needs. I'm also a bit hesitant to get a mobo with i850. RDRAM seems too expensive (vs. DDR). > with regards to the i845 chipset, i'm sorry but you can't SMP Pentium 4s. > Only Pentium 4 Xeons are SMP-capable. It's okay if it's non-SMP, so long as it's a robust, reliable one, and like I said, fits a 2U chassis. On another note, does Linux already have excellent support for SMP (no bugs)?
